Trivia

  • George Raft was originally cast as Sam Spade. He turned it down because it was "not an important picture," taking advantage of a clause in his contract that said he did not have to work on remakes.
  • Word-for-word and scene-for-scene virtually the same as the original novel.
  • The Shakespeare reference that ends the film was suggested by Humphrey Bogart.
  • Captain Jacobi
